| Fuel Consumption in Nigeria Drops by 16% to 1.44 Billion Litres in June 2025 – NMDPRA Report |
Nigeria’s fuel consumption saw a sharp decline in June 2025, with total fuel evacuation dropping to 1.44 billion litres, according to the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA).
In a statement released on Wednesday, the Director of Public Affairs at NMDPRA, George Ene-Ita, clarified that the country’s daily average fuel consumption stood at 48 million litres, not the earlier reported 38.94 million litres.
“The total fuel evacuation for June was 1,440,768,129 litres, representing a 16.42% decline compared to May’s 1,768,812,804 litres,” Ene-Ita said, noting the drop of over 290 million litres within a single month.
Breakdown of June 2025 Fuel Supply and Distribution
The NMDPRA report provided detailed insights into the petroleum product supply chain for June:
-
Automotive Gasoline (PMS):
- Supply dropped by almost 48%, falling from 72.36 million litres in May to 37.66 million litres in June.
- Distribution also decreased by 16.54% in the same period.
-
Diesel (AGO):
- Supply rose slightly by 1.73%, reaching 432.18 million litres compared to May’s 424.83 million litres.
- However, distribution declined sharply by 23.23%, from 552.35 million litres in May to 424.06 million litres in June.
-
Household Kerosene (HHK):
- Both supply and distribution recorded a 13% decline, with June figures standing at 7.79 million litres, down from nearly 9 million litres in May.
Top Fuel-Receiving States in June 2025
The report also highlighted the fuel truck-out volumes to individual states, revealing that Lagos State received the highest allocation:
- Lagos – 205.66 million litres
- Ogun – 88.69 million litres
- Abuja (FCT) – 77.51 million litres
- Oyo – 72.81 million litres
Implications for Nigeria’s Fuel Sector
The consistent drop in supply and distribution of petroleum products suggests ongoing challenges in Nigeria’s midstream and downstream oil sectors. Reduced supply impacts national consumption patterns and can influence fuel pricing, transportation costs, and overall economic activity.
Energy analysts believe the decline may be linked to multiple factors, including:
- Logistical challenges in fuel distribution
- Ongoing subsidy removal effects
- Reduced demand due to high pump prices
- Seasonal economic fluctuations

NMDPRA’s Commitment to Fuel Supply Stability
Despite the drop in consumption, the NMDPRA has pledged to collaborate with industry stakeholders to ensure uninterrupted fuel supply nationwide. The agency is working on strengthening distribution systems to prevent future shortages and stabilize market prices.
With Nigeria still grappling with energy sector reforms, fuel consumption trends will remain a critical economic indicator in the coming months.
